You are kidding right?
Certainly most men would MARRY a serious girl, most would jump at a "meaningful one night relationship" with Miley.
I like her singles a lot and personally, I wasn't offended by the VMAs or any of her other antics. She's at a dumb age (sorry to anyone her age) and while I wouldn't love for my younger sister to behave the same way, I ultimately feel it's harmless.
I did see some of her docu and jeez malou the girl's head is blown-up x10. She's as out of touch with reality as Jay Z, Beyonce or Kanye and just thinks she is the make or break of the modern pop star. I think for her she wasn't in control of how she was presented for so long she has this image on a tight leash to feel in control. And I will say this behavior/attitude is more acceptable (to me) from her versus Kanye or Gaga who are grown adults and still cling to the special snowflake syndrome business.

'It was one of the most degrading things I've ever done': Miley Cyrus' back-up dancer reveals she was left 'shaking and crying' after controversial VMA performance
Whether she was stripping to her underwear or twerking with giant teddy bears, Miley Cyrus left many in shock after her performance at the VMA's in August.
But it seems no one was more shocked than one of her very own back-up dancers.
Los Angeles-based performer Hollis Jane, who refers to herself as a little person, revealed on her blog: 'I was a bear in Miley Cyrus’ VMA performance and. . . for the first time I felt truly ashamed of being a little person.

'I will be the first one to tell you that standing on that stage, in that costume was one of the most degrading things I felt like I could ever do,' she said, singling out another offense to add to Miss Cyrus' recent controversies -- one based on size.
Miss Jane, who has been attempting to be a professional actress for the past three years, said that when she was asked to audition for the signer's tour, she was 'incredibly hesitant'.
'The money was great and I would have gotten a free trip to Las Vegas,' she admitted. 'My computer had recently broken and my car needed (and still needs) multiple repairs. I could have fixed a lot of that with the Miley money. So, I sent in my audition tape.'
But it was only after she was accepted for the job that she realized she was going to be put into a bear costume.

'When I did the VMAs. . . we were being used simply because we were little,' she said. 'It felt like society still saw us as a joke, despite the fact there is nothing different about me other than the fact I am small'
'Standing on that stage, in that costume was one of the most degrading things I felt like I could ever do,' she said, singling out another offense to add to Miss Cyrus' recent controversies -- one based on size
'I had never been in a performance where I was purely meant to be gawked or laughed at. I will never forget that performance because it is what forced me to draw my personal line in the sand,' she said.
'After our first dress rehearsal in the costumes with the crew, publicists, performers etc watching us, I walked out of the Barclay Center shaking and crying.
'I love being the center of attention, but that was something different. I was being stared and laughed at for all of the wrong reasons. I was being looked at as a prop…as something less than human.'

She goes on to explain that for 'decades little people have not been taken seriously'. And as an actress, she revealed she is given 'two per cent of the “real” auditions' that many other 'average-sized' actresses get.
'The longer little people agree to be used as shock value, the longer it is going to take for us to be taken seriously,' she said, adding that Miss Cyrus' choice to have someone of her stature in a bear costume only perpetuated the stigma.

then she shouldn't have done it.It seems to me that she very much liked the money Miley's people gave her,but since it wasn't enough,she's now selling her story for more money.Not exactly the kind of person I'd think was telling the truth,even more because I'm pretty sure she was on stage with Miley more than once,I remember her face.
I agree with you and no one even saw her face since she was a dancing bear. I also see Miley's performance as her making fun of herself and having a good time.
When she was on SNL she did a skit with one of the bears walking by with the bear crying and saying "We shouldn't be doing this. This is for kids" or something like that . LOL!

I think I saw a few pics on here,or maybe it was dailymail,with Miley dancing with her,with no bear costume,but it might have been another girl..let me look.
I used to really like Miley,and while I still like her music,for most part,and her "I don't give a f...." attitude,I can't really watch her performances anymore.It's just not a good look to me.
eta:I loooked,and I'm pretty sure the same girl was dressed as a flower for another perfomance...how come she has nothing to say about that?I think that,since her face was showing and as she admit,she likes to be the centre of the attention,she was ok with that...also,during the same perfomnance,there were other people dressed as a rainbow,so I don't really see the problem with hiring little people to fit in,well small costumes,when she also hires normal height people to dress up as well,lol.
